of the warnings and safety instructions provided before
using this equipment.
The air compressor should be operated on a dedicated 15 amp circuit. If the circuit does
not have 15 free amps available, a larger circuit must be used. Always use more air hose
before utilizing extension cords. All extension cords used must be 12 gauge with a
maximum length of 25 ft. The circuit fuse type must be a time delay. Low voltage could
cause damage to the motor. Always have adequate space (12 inches) on all sides of the
air compressor. Spraying paint and other materials will always need to be in another
area away from the air compressor to prevent damage to the air compressor filter. If spray-
ing flammable materials, locate compressor at least 20 feet away from spray area. An
additional length of hose may be required. Store flammable materials in a secure loca-
tion away from compressor.
If the air compressor is in operation, all guards and covers should be attached or
installed correctly. If any guard or cover has been damaged, do not operate the
equipment until authorized personnel have correctly repaired the equipment. The power
cord should be free of any moving parts, twisting and/or crimping while in use and while
in storage. Do not operate this equipment without all guards properly installed.
There are surfaces on your air compressor that can cause serious burns if touched. The
equipment should be allowed time to cool before any maintenance is attempted. Items
such as the compressor pump and the outlet tube are normally hot during and after
operation.
Operation of the air compressor should always be in a position that is stable. Never use
the air compressor on a rooftop or elevated position that could allow the unit to fall or be
tipped over. Use additional air hose for elevated jobs.
Always wear ANSI Z87.1 approved safety glasses with side shields when the air
compressor is in use. Turn off the air compressor and drain the air tank before
performing any type of maintenance or disassembly of the hoses or fittings. Never point
any nozzle or sprayer toward any part of the body or at other people or animals.
Avoid using the air compressor in confined areas. Also keep children, pets, and others
out of the area of operation. This air compressor does not provide breathable air for
anyone or any auxiliary breathing device.

Risk of
Electrical Shock
Risk of
Explosion or Fire
Risk of Bursting
Do not use the air compressor in the rain or wet conditions. Electrical repairs should be
performed by authorized personnel such as an electrician and should comply with all
national and local electrical codes. The air compressor should also have the proper
three prong grounding plug, correct supply voltage, and adequate fuse protection.
Never operate the compressor near combustible materials, gasoline or solvent vapors.
If spraying flammable materials, locate the air compressor at least 20 feet away from the
spray area. Never operate the air compressor indoors or in a confined area.
Drain the air compressor tank daily or after each use. If the tank develops a leak, replace
the air compressor. Never use the air compressor after a leak has been found or try to
make any modifications to the tank. Never modify the air compressor's factory settings
which control the tank pressure or any other function.
Set-up for Operation
Lubrication and Oil
This compressor requires no lubrication or oiling. No break
in procedure is required by the user. This product is factory
tested to ensure proper operation and performance.
Location of the Air Compressor
The air compressor should always be located in a clean,
dry, and well ventilated environment. The unit should have,
a minimum of 12 inchesof space on each side. The air filter
intake should be free of any debris or obstructions.
Extension Cords
Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade
grounding plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the
plug on the product. Make sure your extension cord is in
good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to
use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will
draw. Cords must not exceed 25 feet and No. 12 AWG size
must be used. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
Grounding Instructions
This product should be grounded. In the event of an electrical
short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by
providing an escape wire for the electric current. This
product is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire
with an appropriate grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged intoan outlet that is properly installed and grounded
in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. Check
with a qualified electrician or service personnel if these
instructionsare not completely understood or if in doubt as
to whether the tool is properly grounded.

Outlet
Improper installation of the grounding plug can result in a
risk of electric shock. If repair or replacement of the cord or
plug is necessary, do not connect the grounding wire to
either flat blade terminal. The wire with insulation having an
outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is
the grounding wire. Check with a qualified electrician or
serviceman if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the
product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug
provided; if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
This product is for use on a circuit having a nominal rating
of 120 volts and is factory-equipped with a specific electric
cord and plug to permit connection to a proper electric
circuit. Make sure that the product is connected to an outlet
having the same configuration as the plug. No adapter
should be used with this product. If the product must be
reconnected for use on a different type of electric circuit,
qualified service personnel should make the reconnection.
